CM Vs MaransBy: A.NATARAJAN | Friday , 21 Nov '08 19:47:48 PM Reply | Forward Now the 'Sun TV' acts in a neutral way, which is not tolerated by Mr Karunanidhi. As long as it was the mouthpiece of his Party, he was projecting the Maran brothers and SUN TV. When it starts giving equal importance to all the news items, including that of AIADMK, the party of Vijayakanth etc., Mr Karunanidhi is so angry. After all Mr CM should realise that ours is a democratic country and people are watching all these things. People are in a position to understand things and get themselves ready to write the judgement at the appropriate time.

DMk is MKBy: Ram | Friday , 21 Nov '08 16:22:35 PM Reply | Forward I think the readers are very confused. Actually, DMK is Deeds of MK. So, Mk is the owner of the organisation called DMK and all its assets. So, MK has the right to announce the heir of his empire called DMK. Can anyone in DMK cadres object?

marans and nidhisBy: k.madhukar | Friday , 21 Nov '08 15:46:43 PM Reply | Forward Main grouse of karunanidhi must be, by hindsight that Mr Dayanidhi maran did not do what mr raja did now. i e Collect money for DMK party showing favours to telecom industry.Do we remember, one shiv sena minister was forced to step down by Bal thakeray for the same sin during NDA regime?

Dayanidhi Maran and KalaignarBy: KUMAR | Friday , 21 Nov '08 14:37:40 PM Reply | Forward There is nothing wrong in the survey published by Dinakaran last year it was Mr Dayanidhi Maran who was instrumental in bringing lot of new industries and investments to Tamil Nadu when he was a union minister. Regarding the matter of Mr Raja every one in Tamil Nadu knows that he is not a saint and these allegations have been already published in leading english dailies all over the country. Dinakaran published it and the whole of Tamil Nadu has come to know about it.Mr Raja is not a saint people are aware.

Dynastic Fiefdom of KarunanidhiBy: Lakshman Balasubramanyam | Friday , 21 Nov '08 13:18:32 PM Reply | Forward Karunanidhi should stop the Dynastic succession syndrome in TN Politics if he has the courage to actually do so. Unfortunately in India not only the politicians play the dynastic card, the average public carry the colonial hangover of annointing successors from the powerful ruling families! When will the Indian and India grow up to play the true democratic function and clearly define the limitation of power to not more than 2 or 3 terms for any one to rule? I do not believe that this is a dispute between the Marans and Karunanidhi but more of Karunanidhi's need to save his legacy and fiefdom for his son Stalin instead of having the ability to deny Stalin that role and make it available to some one else. Why not give Marans the opportunity and see if they do well and ask Stalin to channel his energies to fight for his political rights from the Marans after seeing their administration skills?

family affairBy: L G Murthy | Friday , 21 Nov '08 11:37:37 AM Reply | Forward MK has simply turned the Government ,the party and the State as his family affair. There is succession war going in his family to acquire the party(properties). We will see violent actions and reactions by each and every family block. Obviously he cannot afford to offer the post of CM to his all sons/daughters/grand sons. Long live democracy!
